GOLD COAST – Weekend Update

Driver Incentives – Gold Coast

Just a reminder, the Driver Incentives running this week for you to make more cash are:

  • $30 hourly minimums on Friday and Saturday night from 6pm-2am when accepting 90% of trips,
  • $5 extra for every trip you complete, (seriously every trip nets you an extra $5 on top of the fare)
  • the $100 Driver Referral,
  • AND a $250 Driver Activation Incentive. Get activated, complete 10 trips with a rating over 4.6, and get $250!

Refer a Driver make $100

Want $100 for telling a friend about driving for Uber?

Simply hit the “Refer a friend” button in the driver app. Enter their details and a message will be sent to them. Once they sign up and complete ten trips you get a $100 Driver Referral incentive. If they have a Driver Authority they can begin as soon as they get an Uber phone.

If you can’t see this button, force-close the driver application by following these steps:

– double-tap the “home” button at the base of the phone

– select the Uber driver application, slide to the top of the phone to remove the app

– re-start the app and the button will now appear

First Weekend Driving? Remember these Uber essentials!

First off, water and mints. This is a game changer and makes a rider feel that they are receiving premium five star service.

Ensure your vehicle is clean, tidy, and doesn’t have any strong smells.

Greet the rider by name to make them feel comfortable and welcome.

Have fun and have a great weekend!
